How Refreshing

In 2008, Liberty Mutual Insurance launched The Responsibility Project on Facebook. The RP is “a place to think about — and discuss — what it means to do the right thing.”

What a refreshing find in a time when toxic self-interest is lauded by half the population as a fundamental American virtue. My favorite recent discussion is on the issue of providing government-funded education to inmates. The skeptic in me is wary that this is PR cover for a shady profit-seeking scheme on the part of Liberty Mutual. But even if that turns out to be the case, this project will still stand out as a laudable effort.
